Create an RDF version of the xml syntax for Touchgraph. This should be very easy. Then use that as a target for a simplified version. Touchgraph has a lot of potential - the latest addition to the web site is called a GoogleBrowser. After that, there will be an accessible platform which can be the basis for a lot of really gripping applications that will show if RDF can make them shine, and if a new or subsetted xml syntax is all that useful in practice.
